WEAKNESS

I remember a quote that my friend wrote to me on a note she passed during freshman economics..

"There are two things that show a person's weakness: Speaking up when it's proper to be silent, and Keeping quiet when it's needed for you to say something.."

Then she quickly followed it up the next day with..

"One-half of the problems in this world come from saying YES too quickly and not saying NO soon enough."

Quotes that I still carry with me everytime I try to convince someone that it's never too late to do the right thing.

My point is why are there people who bask in their laurels yet fail to see the truth of reality? They're busy congratulating themselves too much that they lose sight of what's important. The status-quo does not lie on top of a mountain but on its very foot. Ascending to the top is good as long as you don't let it go to your head. Descending to the top is better -- THE HIGHER YOU FLY, THE LOWER THE EGO (a term taken from Mr. Butch Jimenez) As Ateneans we were made aware of the concept of "BUMABA KA SA BUNDOK"


Anyway, I just woke up on the wrong side of the bed today and decided to write about it.

Spending time with my family and Vic today made it all better. Dad enjoyed eating lunch at Sumo Sam (shameless plug for Marvin A.) today even if we waited for almost an hour to get a table.
